kotti_paster provides "starter" scaffolding for creating projekt or an addon for :mod:`Kotti`. See http://kotti.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html for detailed documentation of Kotti.
You just install the package from PyPi with easy_install. This will install PasteScript and Cheetah. So you may want to create a new virtualenv to install it there.
$ easy_install kotti_paster
After the installation you have two more paster templates: kotti_project and kotti_addon.
The kotti_project :term:`scaffold` allows you to easily generate a buildout based project
for :mod:`Kotti`. You do this with the "paster create" command in your virtualenv.
$ paster create -t kotti_project my_project_name
This will create a my_project_name buildout with a my_project_name development package.
To run the buildout project bootstrap, run buildout and start your project with pserve:
$ cd my_project_name
$ python boostrap.py
$ ./bin/buildout
$ ./bin/pserve development.ini
The server will be start on port 6543 on default. Visit http://localhost:6543 to see Kotti with your addon in action.
The addon contains example code - change it and add your fancy stuff. See the Kotti documentation for further informations: http://kotti.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html.
The primary job of :mod:`kotti_paster` is to provide a :term:`scaffold` which allows you to easily generate an addon for Kotti. You do this with the "pcreate" command in your virtualenv.
The kotti_addon :term:`scaffold` allows you to create an AddOn for :mod:`Kotti`.
$ paster create -t kotti_addon my_addon_name
This will create a my_addon_name package in the current directory. You can use this package
alone inside an own virtualenv for development purposes or you can add it to your buildout.cfg:
[sources] ... my_addon_name = fs my_addon_name
[application] ... eggs =
my_addon_name
and your development.ini:
- kotti.configurators =
- ... my_addon_name.kotti_configure
The addon contains example code - change it and add your fancy stuff. See the Kotti documentation for further informations http://kotti.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html.
